I am saddened to inform the membership of the passing of Glenn Kretchman on June 1, 2021. Glenn joined LYC in 2006 and, along with Gail, has been an active member ever since. Gail informed me that a celebration of Glenn’s life will take place at the LYC on Sunday June 27, 2021 from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Expressions of sympathy may be directed to Gail at 11733 N. Custer Rd., Free Soil MI 49411.
LYC TAMS Training FYIYou may take the TAMS online training anytime. However, the cutoff date for LYC reimbursement ($15 ) for successful TAMS ONLINE training is June 13th. Thanks to the 40+ LYC members who have signed up already.From the LYC House Committee
The Ludington Yacht Club has an AED.
AED is an acronym for Automated External Defibrillator. AEDs are used to revive someone from sudden cardiac arrest. This usually occurs when a disruption in the heart’s electrical activity causes a dangerously fast heartbeat (ventricular tachycardia) or a fast and irregular heartbeat (ventricular fibrillation).
AEDs offer a way to save a life.
The AED is located between the bathroom and the bar, hanging on the wall near the furnace. Please feel free to inspect the AED. Take it off the wall, unzip the case, open it, And LOOK at it to become familiar with it. (Please do not test the unit). Put it back when finished.
Stating the obvious…. We hope that we never have to use the AED at LYC. But if needed, we have one, and hope that members know where it is, and how to use it properly.
